Two hours. Warm water. Collective care. Permission to be exactly who you are.

Join us for a soulful-somatic evening in 92-degree saltwater. This is ceremonial playfulness: structured enough to feel safe, spacious enough to surprise yourself.

We'll move slowly, like seaweed swaying. Float in the warmth. Solo exploration. Partner play. Group connection. Gentle movement and sacred requests. Freedom and belonging.

In this womb-like warmth, less is more. Slowness is power. Softness is strength. We hold each other and are held.
This is a space to remember: your body is wise, your desires matter, and you belong exactly as you are.
Limited to 9 women because some magic only happens in small circles.

Seamlessly blending illusion, acrobatics, magic, and whimsy, MOMIX sends audiences flying down the rabbit hole in Moses Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, set to take the stage at Sanford Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.

Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic "Alice in Wonderland," the show is a mind-bending adventure, as Alice encounters time-honored characters including the undulating Caterpillar, a lobster quadrille, frenzied White Rabbits, a mad Queen of Hearts, and a variety of other surprises. “I don’t intend to retell the whole Alice story” Pendleton says, “but to use it as a taking off point for invention.”

Filled with visual splendor and startling creative movement, Alice reveals that nothing in MOMIX’s world is as it seems!

Breathtaking power, lyrical beauty, and moments of pure musical magic — right here in Sanford, without the trip to New York or Boston, at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 8.

Internationally acclaimed pianist Ilya Yakushev has earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying performers of his generation. A winner of the 2005 World Piano Competition, Yakushev’s performances have been praised for their dazzling technique, emotional depth, and magnetic stage presence, playing everywhere from captivating audiences from Carnegie Hall to the BBC Proms. Known for his brilliant interpretations of Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, and Beethoven, Yakushev blends impeccable artistry with sheer virtuosity, making each performance an unforgettable experience.
Program selections include Haydn's Sonata in D major, Three Preludes by Rachmaninoff, Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Mixed Level Belly Dance:

Authentic Belly Dance, or raks sharqi, is an ancient form of dance. Raks sharqi means “dance of the east” in Arabic. Belly dance celebrates every body type and every stage of life. The dance is proud and powerful and soft and sinewy with elegant and isolating movements emanating from the core. It’s the Pilates of dance. And so much fun! In this Mixed Level (Beginner through Intermediate/Advanced) class, we will work with improvisation and group choreography, as well as continually working with subtleties of technique at whatever level you are.

Please wear comfortable clothing, similar to what you might wear to a yoga class that will allow for free movement and the ability to see your movement. Hip scarves make it even more fun. You can dance barefoot or in a pair of comfortable dance shoes. Zils (finger cymbals) and veils will also be used in class and are available for purchase from the instructor.
